KC's Music Scene Drives Filmmaker's Latest Effort

The sounds of Count Basie and Charlie Parker are part of Kansas City’s musical identity.

In the second half of Wednesday's Up to Date, we hear from the woman behind Kansas City Jazz & Blues; Past, Present & Future, a new documentary that drops by 18th & Vine to explore the city’s famed blues and jazz scene in this year’s Kansas International Film Festival.

It’s not all about the past, though, and documentary-filmmaker Sue Vicory will talk about how today’s musicians are continuing to contribute to the city’s soulful legacy.
